SSLError when using VS Code for Azure Functions local development

Question

My goal is to develop Azure Functions locally with VS Code and Python. I have an Azure Functions template with Time Trigger:

import datetime
import logging

import azure.functions as func

def main(mytimer: func.TimerRequest) -> None:
    utc_timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(
        tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc).isoformat()

    if mytimer.past_due:
        logging.info('The timer is past due!')

    logging.info('Python timer trigger function ran at %s', utc_timestamp)

I try to run that locally (conda environment) in VS Code with debugging and I will get the following:

> Executing task: .venv\Scripts\python -m pip install -r requirements.txt <

I have added the PATH variables mentioned here

I have also found a way to install packages using --trusted-host (link here), but I don't know, how to use that in Azure Functions, because it utilizes requirements.txt. I assume, that you can't use --trusted-host in the requirements.txt.

Check that you have {your_conda_env_installation_path}\Library\bin in your PATH System Environment Variable.

Thats where the DLLs are located e.g.

libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll

Reload your code editor. Test the fix by running venv\Scripts\python.exe

import ssl

If the modules loads without a DLL error, it should work.

Problem solved! I had the "venv\Scripts\python.exe" in the virtual variables already. All I did was that I changed the order of the environment variables (I have read in some other topic, that it affects...) and reloaded my code editor. I don't know, which solved this issue because I think I have reloaded the code editor earlier also. Anyway, thanks for your help @meo ! – pentti Jun 29 '20 at 06:05
Please replace path with following: {your_conda_env_installation_path}/Library/bin – swed1983 Oct 27 '22 at 12:08
